'Motivated by Pure Hatred': A Violent Crime Problem Grows in Berlin

[sysop]

A string of violent incidents has rocked Berlin in recent months, and a deadly beating over the weekend is just the latest example. Statistics indicate that the city remains safe, but experts say that crimes are becoming more brutal.

I think this poster has another agenda. Please see the article in today's SpOn entitled "Offensive der Islamhasser" (Offensive of the Islam-Haters). The link is:

Unfortunately, rabble-rousers like Sarrazin and Buschkowsky get a lot of airplay here, feeding on people's insecurity to get their thinly veiled anti-Islamic message across.

People who are insecure and alienated (e.g. the sovereign citizens in the US) present a potential for violence almost everywhere. In the Berlin context, this includes Germans and people from non-German background alike.

Back to the topic at hand, I contend that the person who claims to have been threatened by (sic.) "extremeist moslems" is prevaricating.
